| The German multinational, based in Fuente Álamo, recruits talent at the Polytechnic and trains future engineers in the automotive sector | Today, a dozen students from the Polytechnic University of Cartagena began a programming course focused on the automotive industry and taught by engineers from the company AED Embedded, through their chair at the UPCT and in collaboration with the School of Telecommunications.
Fifty students enrolled in just three days to apply for this training opportunity, which is also their entry point to the automotive sector.The course, programming in C language and with five face-to-face sessions and access to online training resources and specialized programs with licenses paid for by the company, is the first of the different training modules that the AED-UPCT Chair plans to carry out in the coming months .The selected students, for their academic profile, their prior knowledge and their motivation, have received programming hardware and electronic cards to practice programming processors such as those used by the automotive industry.
“They have to reproduce on board control units in miniature”, explains the chair's director, Rafael Toledo.This free training is aimed at final year students and graduates interested in starting their career in this important industrial sector, and students who successfully complete it will receive training and job offers from the AED-UPCT Chair and the German multinational AED Embedded , which last year opened its headquarters in the Fuente Álamo Technology Park.
